But fear not, penily-menaced Portlanders, because officials say the synthetic dicks pose no immediate threat. From Reuters:
A spokesman for public utility Portland General Electric said he did not believe the rubber products posed a fire hazard.
Still, area power companies would prefer you didn’t use their lines as ad hoc nun-chub hangers.
“The temptation may be there for tittering,” a Pacific Power spokesperson told The Oregonian, “but we want to keep the lines as safe as possible.”
